LinkedInSoftware Engineer · OnsiteLast updated
This question evaluates understanding of string algorithms, frequency-based sliding window techniques and hashmap/graph-based conflict detection, focusing on minimal substring search and modeling pairwise exclusions.
Question
LeetCode 76. Minimum Window Substring: Given strings s and t, return the smallest substring of s that contains every character of t (including duplicates). Validate a hashmap where each key is an animal and its value is a list of animals that cannot share the same river bank; determine whether the exclusions are conflict-free.
